Jurassic Park (SNES) Any% Speedrun in

[@mountdoomee]

I woke up in the middle of the night and needed to see a speedrun of this game. It's nice to watch but I definitely don't miss playing it.

[@shmupforlife_1910]

Glad I could help lmao. Thanks for watching!

[@seth8877]

Absolutely same

[@westingtyler1]

true. also check out the beard bros eff it beard bros playthrough of this game. love that run - 3 guys each with a different piece, one plays, one has maps, one has the guide, and no one can see the other's stuff. big inspiration, along with this vid, great inspiration for my jp snes inspired game #CCgame.

[@norfairaffair]

I got pretty far in this game back in like 95. The 1st person levels could be scary at times.

[@shmupforlife_1910]

I feel ya. The sound effects are Terrifying

Dude I thought I was the only who thought that 🤣

[@billymoore4788]

It was scary I remember playing as a kid. It was a pretty good game

[@gnatinator]

the amount of running around this game has you do is crazy. I remember leaving the console on multiple days to finish it as a kid because no saves.

[@shmupforlife_1910]

Yeah, it's unbelievably annoying. We still don't know how to skip the long walks, but maybe one day. Thanks for watching!

[@shmupforlife_1910]

Thanks for watching! I also built a love / hate / terror relationship with this game as a kid in the 90's. I say you haven't lived if you didn't keep your SNES on for 5 days straight to try and beat this game. A save feature would be GREAT lol.

[@JuanRodriguez-ce8vs]

25 yrs later I learn that the only thing I was missing was to return to the landing pad.... Im so fucking pissed

[@shmupforlife_1910]

If only there was ANY information ANYWHERE right? The conveyance in this game is just abismal. Thanks for watching!

[@MrDelicious84]

I love the rhythmic cattle prod 8:49 and 40:02. Even on a world record speed run, you still can’t resist this banging track. :D

[@shmupforlife_1910]

I just love that track so much. Best thing about the game is the OST no cap

[@rentoptional1524]

For anyone watching this in 2024, there's a patched ROM out there that adds save files to this game. The original didn't have it due to all of that data storage that would've been required at the time.

[@Autyarty]

what's this rom's name? 🤔

[@OlovMetal]

Son you done something I can never have done. This game was way over my head as a child now I wanna just follow this video and do it beat for beat

[@shmupforlife_1910]

DO IT. Once you know where to go, it's not so bad. The music rocks, so it's fun to walk around. If you ever have any questions about the game, hit me up. Thanks for watching!

[@Johnalbertwesker]

From 8:27 to 8:55 you begin to shoot to the beat of the music. Thanks for that haha

[@shmupforlife_1910]

You're more than welcome my dude. Thanks for watching!

[@makotroid108]

The mountain theme brought me here, i recalled the game having a godly ost. Been 30 years since i last played this, so that's a helluva impression to have someone remember the music after so long. GG on the record, i knew the speedrun wouldn't disappoint!

[@shmupforlife_1910]

Thanks for watching buddy. I also love the OST, it's easily the best part of the game.

[@romanninjaprincess4477]

Random that this run came up in my feed when i was just thinking about replaying this game earlier this week, this definitely dated that desire. Great run, was a pleasure to watch.

[@stormengine3261]

Same, I thought of it a couple of days ago. Maybe I was talking about it out loud, anywho. It popped up on my recommendations and here I am. I hated the part where you gotta slow down trex during the chase because you can't kill her. Always would die there.

[@shmupforlife_1910]

We're all being watched by our phones it seems like lol. Thanks for watching, guys. I love this game (for some weird reasons) and I'm glad so many people like as well.

[@caspianvonliechtenstein6517]

The zapping along with the music was the part that is related to the most.

[@shmupforlife_1910]

You MUST play the mountain song with the cattle prod. That's the law. XD

[@DukeRevolution]

This had some very memorable music tracks.

[@shmupforlife_1910]

Right? Soundtrack is BEASTLY ngl. Jon Dunn is a hell of a composer

[@Dorda098]

Wait someone can beat this?

[@MoneyManHolmes]

The movie store made so much money from me with this game. I could never find that last damn egg!

[@shmupforlife_1910]

Yeah, this is a legit nightmare casually. Check out the route guides on www.speedrun.com/jurassic_park_snes/resources for a good step by step walkthrough

[@Johnalbertwesker]

I did it without knowing anything about English. Translating everything i could with a dictionary and trying to understand words without context. So, it is possible!

[@Ennis85]

I managed to finally do it a few weeks ago, albeit with some guides.

[@zigzag77]

I remember playing this as a kid, and having to leave the Snes on all night because there was no option to save the game.

[@shmupforlife_1910]

Yep, I feel you. I did the exact same. Ocean couldn't even give us a password system. Thanks for watching!

[@LakeVermilionDreams]

I remember having to write into Nintendo Power for a walk through of the raptor pen! Ah, life before the internet! I never knew what the letters on the ground in the overworld meant...

[@shmupforlife_1910]

Sup buddy! The letters on the overworld were part of a cultural contest organized by Ocean. Here's the writeup on wikipedia: The letters then had to be decoded to reveal a secret message: "Dr. Horner". The answer was a reference to paleontologist Jack Horner, who was a consultant on the film. Two days after the game's release, the eventual winner of the contest correctly guessed the answer after playing the game for 10 hours. The winner was awarded with a $5,000 check. 5K clams dude. Not bad at all.

[@gonzaloNMF]

Alan Grant didn't mess around. Who better to speedrun through Jurassic Park than a dinosaur expert?

I had no idea there were actually two spots that the t-Rex spawned. I know I tripped the music once for the second spot by standing in a certain spot, but the T-Rex never spawned. I guess it was because I didn’t walk into the right area.

[@shmupforlife_1910]

Yeah, the music triggers are a bit wonky in the overworld. Thanks for watching!

[@BrotherReed]

I've watched this part several times now and I do not understand how you can walk into the visitor center at 29:48 with no lives, take the elevator to the raptor pen, move the box, DIE, and then spawn at the VC with 2 lives??

[@grey8771]

I also watched this happen twice in this video :o How is that possible?

[@grey8771]

Also again at 34:24

[@shmupforlife_1910]

Hey bud! There's no Game Overs in this game. Once you hit 0 lives, the counter just resets to 2 again. I'm not 100% on this, but I think that was a programming oversight that wasn't caught for lack of play-testing. This game got pushed out the door very quickly and it has A TON of stuff that could be solved with a couple more months of work. Thanks for watching!

@@shmupforlife_1910 I'm curious how much of the movie they were privy to. So much of the game seems based on the book.

The thing that cracks me up about this game is when you hold down the 'pick-up item' button ....it doubles as a 'present butt' button XD

[@BlackFox0911]

How did it let you finish the “clear the ship of dinos” part if there was still a raptor left to kill you in the dark room immediately after you contacted the helicopter?

[@shmupforlife_1910]

Yeah, I know it's confusing lol. We use a glitch called "Raptor Spawn", where we can duplicate a raptor after killing a normal enemy. The game counts your kills down from the total enemies in each floor and once it hits zero, it never comes up again. So we kill the last dino, spawn another in it's place, and the game thinks there's no more enemies in that floor. If you're interested, I made a video with commentary so I could explain all the glitches and strats. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJW4cn-ietGqiqM Hit me up if you need more info!

[@rdu239]

This game remake (from the NES) greatly suffers from: 1. lack of save feature or a password system 2. this game is dying for an in-game map of the open field and interior areas 3. this is literally an open world game done poorly, the game starts and they set you off on your own; not asking for any lore but at the very least give the players definitive objectives so that they have a sense of direction. If you have not read the novel or watched the movies, nothing is explained, everything is so cryptic and you are playing blindfolded not knowing what is going on.

[@shmupforlife_1910]

Agreed. This game could have been A LOT better, but it's fun for what it was: a rental game you get for a weekend. I feel it's pretty enjoyable once you know what you have to do, but it is really confusing. 6 more months in development could have saved it. Anyway, thanks for watching!
